Alaminos and the Hundred Islands National Park, has been one of the jewels in the crown of tourist destinations in Pangasinan for a few decades now.

Pangasinan Attractions: Bolinao, Pangasinan

Bolinao is one of Pangasinan's tourism jewels, hosting a myriad of attractions and activities that won't all conveniently fit in one day - beautiful beaches and waterfalls, a lighthouse, underwater caves, and even a fun river cruise. 

Aptly named, Bolinao Falls 1, 2 and 3, these attractions are waterfalls of different heights. Bolinao Falls 1 being the tallest allows for the brave of heart for canyoneering. Falls 2 and 3 are more suitable for the family with a series of smaller pools and mild drops.



The Cape Bolinao Lighthouse at Patar rises 351 feet (107 m) above sea level atop Punta Piedra Point, a towering hill of solid rock which is the sharp point of Cape Bolinao itself. It was built by the Americans in 1903 on a 351 feet (107 m) high promontory at the western part of Cape Bolinao, the lighthouse still sends signals to vessels passing by the area.
The lighthouse provides a panoramic view of a portion of the 1,269 hectare Cape Bolinao Dendro Thermal Ipil-Ipil Plantation on a land area where archaeological excavations have revealed relics from the 14th to the 15th centuries. Filipino, British and American engineers constructed the lighthouse in 1905.



Patar Beach - Let the unfiltered photos speak for themselves. There are resorts and beach huts to cater to every budget. Whether for a day trip or an overnight stay, Patar beach, especially during the first half of the year before the rainy season is sure to make for an awesome getaway.



Fifty shades of blue.


 The most gorgeous sunsets



Ilog Malino, is a coastal barangay that one passes through before getting to Patar beach. While mostly rocky, it still has powdery sandy beaches and has its own charm, especially in the morning when the water recedes far out to sea and one can walk out for an exciting stroll.


For those who want to have an unforgettable cruise along Balingasay River while having lunch, the Sungayan Grill and Restaurant lets a boat pull your floating kubo for one hour while you enjoy your meal.


Amazing view of the river.


Kainan na!


River cruise boodle fight.


Different colors of the river.


There are many other ways to enjoy Bolinao. Its natural wonders are a sight to behold and experience and when you are done, it has a wide array of different kinds of accommodations, hotels, and resorts to choose from, so you can sit back and just watch the sun go down.
